not even sure any of it is real.” My eyes never left Jarak, but I talked to everyone. I swallowed, trying to push down the rejection I felt because he wouldn’t look me in the eye. He continued to glower at Trevor. I wish I knew what happened to make him so upset. I got the feeling he was not like the rest of them, except I was not sure what else he could be. He said he was a Guardian, but I wasn’t sure what that meant. We’ve already covered Witches and Vampires, all I needed to meet now was a cowardly lion to make my journey complete.
    I took back my hand from Trevor’s and folded it with my other one, resting them in my lap. Nobody talked—it was too quiet. I could feel the eerie tension building in the room.
    “Oh it’s real. Everything you grew up knowing as myths or legends, real, all of it.” Ree talked with her hands flaying all over.
    “Okay, so what did my mom mean? She said something about Nicholas wanting my powers?” I glanced at every face wondering who would be willing to divulge the truth.
    “My Sweet,” Victor spoke up. “You are in danger.”
     “How?”
    “Nicholas has been recruiting his army for hundreds of years. His plan to rule over all other worldly beings and mere mortals started when he couldn’t sate his addiction to power, and he turned them into crossbreeds. We have fought against him since the beginning, but we’ve been able to do very little.”
    Gulp. Victor was so convincing that I played with the idea of what he said being true, but what did that have to do with me?
    “Turn them—how?” I never thought my heart could beat as fast as it was.
    Victor thrummed his fingers on the arm of the chair and gave a wicked grin. “He has slaves of vampires that have magic, or better known as crossbreeds. The only thing is… he couldn’t create magical vampire blood until now.”
    “Crossbreeds?—Wait, what do you mean until now?” I lied to myself; my heart could indeed beat faster.
    “That’s what he needs you for.”
    “Me.” I gasped, pointing to myself in confirmation. I looked at Jarak. He stared at me with sad eyes.
    “You hold an incredible power. You are the one a powerful Seer prophesied about when the war first started.” Ree continued, “With your magic, you are capable of helping or destroying the world. Everyone—magical, mythical and even the humans need your help.”
    “What makes you think it’s me,” I shrieked.
    Victor guffawed a little. I hardly thought this was a moment to laugh, but thought better than to make him mad by pointing it out. “After you were conceived, but before you were born, each of the five great witches bestowed a gift on you. You already had something unique, something no one else ever had, your father—" He stopped with his jaw firmly set, obviously not going to speak any more on what he said.
    “Okay.” I stood up, shaking off the world that settled itself on my shoulders. “No more lies, no more secrets, just tell me the truth with no interruptions.” I dared a peek over at Jarak who still stood there, as quiet as ever.
    “Fine, I can do simple.” Ree stood up also. “Magic comes in many forms, but the most basic forms come in the five elements. Air, Earth, Water, Fire and Spirit. More advanced magic like conjuring and telepathy is rare but is obtainable to certain witches or warlocks. You don’t need to have the elements to use that kind of magic, but every witch has the power to control at least one element.
    “The five witches worked their whole life preparing to give you their powers. You were born as a half–breed. Your father is a Guardian, and your mom is a witch. That alone is special because it was unheard of before you.”
    I shook my head. “No, my father is not a Guardian. He works at the police station.” This was not happening. Now she wanted to tell me my dad wasn’t who I thought he was. It was just too much.
    Her face softened a little, and she smiled. “I’m talking about your real
